Okay... Let's see...
One of the easiest and most affordable ways to transform any room is through the use of paint. With just a bucket of paint and a weekend, you can make your entire home feel fresh and new. It's the perfect solution for any budget decorator.
Why..? By choosing the right combination of colour and paint type, you can give a new look to your room or your entire house. This is not an easy task because many paint manufacturers offer various paint type and colour depending on their customers need. Interior paint is not the same with exterior paint but most of us use it both.
To paint the exterior of your house, consider the paint that can resist harsh weather. Our climate condition will make our exterior walls looks dull in a matter of months. Choosing the paint that can withstand harsh weather is a better choice for painting your exterior walls. But, you need to make sure that you really follow the instructions just to make sure it will do what it suppose to do.
Bright colours can reflect heat from the sun while dark colours absorbs it although pastel or darker colour looks nice and it can highlight your house from the surrounding.
Make sure you clean all the surfaces that you want to repaint and coat it with primer paint before laying the colour you want. It will make your job easier and you don't need to apply thick coat to cover the old paint.
>> Painting house interior.
After taking your time to paint your house exterior, you need to refresh the interior look of your house or room.
Updating the wall color in a space can create a completely new atmosphere in your home. If you cannot repaint the entire room, consider painting an accent wall instead. Choose an accent paint color that works with the other elements of the room, and has a medium to high level of contrast to your existing wall color.
Select a wall that will make sense when accented. For example, choosing the wall with the entertainment set will naturally reinforce the entertainment center as the focal point of the room. Other good accent walls may contain a large bank of windows, interesting architectural details or amazing artwork.
If you have a chair rail or other decorative molding, you could paint an accent color above or below the trim. This is a simple way to add pizzazz to a space without painting all of the walls at the same time.
While changing the color of the walls is a great way to use paint, there are other ways to harness the power of paint. Painting your existing wood or metal furniture is a way to add punch to your room while keeping your budget under control.
Think about painting a side table in tropical turquoise. Or, perhaps the bookcase in the corner would look richer when painted tomato red. You can paint just the legs of a table, or the top of a desk. Lamp bases, candlesticks, picture frames and other accessories also come to life with a fresh coat of paint.
If your room contains mismatched pieces of furniture that you have collected over the years, painting them all a fresh shade of ivory or chocolate brown will instantly make them feel as though they are part of a matched set.
To choose a paint color, look to hues found in the accent fabrics in the room, and you cannot go wrong. For best results, use an oil-based gloss or semi-gloss paint for furniture as it offers the most durable finish. Small metal items and oddly-shaped accessories will be easiest to cover with spray paint.
While paint is inexpensive, it gives you amazing bang for your decorating ringgit. Never underestimate the power of paint!
